关于加拿大签发授权推进令、启动引渡程序的律师声明

1、美国的指控是出于政治动机。美国总统曾多次表示，如果孟女士案有助于美国与中国达成贸易协议，他会对此案进行干预。在这种情况下，加拿大司法部长仍然决定签发授权推进令，我们对此感到失望。

2、美国指控的行为在加拿大根本不构成犯罪。尽管如此，加拿大司法部长仍然同意签发授权推进令，这完全不符合“双重犯罪”的基本引渡原则。

3、孟女士没有任何不当行为，美国对她的起诉与引渡是对司法程序的滥用。

4、希望孟女士的合法权利在引渡过程中的司法阶段能得到保护。

1. We aredisappointed that the Minister of Justice has decided to issue an Authority toProceed in the face of the political nature of the , charges and where thePresident of the United States has repeatedly stated that he would interfere in Ms. Meng's case if he thought it would assist the negotiations with Chinaover a trade deal.

2. We are alsoconcerned that the Minister has approved an ATP in circumstances where theconduct alleged to be an offence in the . would not be an offence inCanada. This is an affront to the foundational extradition principle ofdouble criminality.

3. Our clientmaintains that she is innocent of any wrongdoing and that the . prosecutionand extradition constitutes an abuse of the processes of law.

4. Our client looksforward to having her rights vindicated in the judicial phase of theextradition process.
